Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (PS4S) Now Available in 21" Taycan Size!

[Jsherid!]

Excuse my ignorance but aren’t we supposed to only for tires that are marked for electric vehicles. I understand these tires are supposedly ranked very high but wanted to confirm.

I went with the Cross Climate 2's and they have been outstanding in terms of wet and dry grip. The reduction in tire noise is nothing short of amazing--I had the OE fit Michelins on the car and they were always noisy.

The Pilot 4S is a great tire. By far my favorite over any manufacturer.

100% agree. - hands down incredible. Pilot Sport is the only rubber gracing my P-cars.

It took a while but I found a set thanks to on-sitetires.com who is installing them as we speak in my garage.

Hey Derek looks great.
Do you have any reservations about the lack of NF0 rating on these? I know it may be a formality or maybe it isn't. I wanna do these tires next too.
How many miles did you get out of front and backs you're replacing? Were they Pirellis or Goodyears?

No reservations whatsoever about lack of N-rating. Tire tech seems to advance faster than Porsche N-rates tires; it's not the first time I've gone off the reservation to get a good set. The important things are to match size, speed rating and load.

My rears were Continentals. I got 10.5K out of the rears, and 18.5K out of the fronts.

Thanks for the info. So you replaced all seasons with summer tires?

I noticed on yours and mine that the balancing weights are black and not that ugly gray that Discount tires put on. Did your guy use the black weights?

Hi Derek, I will be very interested to hear your feedback on these Michelin tyres. I also want these and can not really wait for N-rated??

I also see that you plan a long trip with these tures so you will get a good feeling of them!

Thanks Derek, very interested as well as how you like them and if you notice any major range changes going from the Conti's.

Looking to replace them soon with either the Pirelli's or the PS4's

 

[DerekS]

I am LOVING these tires so far. It makes the car feel even better.

Subtantially better traction in the rain as well. 2000 miles on them so far.

Michelin all the way. I hate Pirelli.

Just FYI- Tirerack shows these as not being in till August for the rears, and the P Zeros as being back ordered. I chatted with Tirerack about the Pirellis, as I will probably need another pair of these rears first. They said they are not expecting the Pirellis anytime soon, as they are very low production and they said the dealer network is scooping up all the tires for the dealers.

 

[DerekS]

I had a very difficult time finding the rears but on-sitetires.com came through for me.

I was very happy with the install work they did too.

Wondering if you had any noticeable drop for range now that you've had them a month plus now?

I saw for the fronts, Tesla Model S PS4's should fit as well, they have the foam liner for noise as well, wondering if you went with those?

Very difficult for me to say re range - my range tanked because I took a high speed 4000 mile road trip Slowly building it back up.
